§ 91. Mr. Nabarroasked the Minister of Education what decision she has made as to the exercise of her powers under Section 68 of the Education Act, 1944, in connection with the pending dismissal of Mr. Johnson Ball, principal of the Halesowen County Technical School, by the county education authority, the Worcestershire County Council, in view of the fact that an appeal has been made to her against the unreasonable action of the local authority in this case.
§ Miss HorsbrughI do not think it appropriate that I should use my powers under Section 68 to determine such questions as this one which arise out of the dismissal or proposed dismissal of a teacher and, in so far as they affect the rights of a teacher under the terms of his contract or otherwise, would more properly be determined by a court of law.
